A
snappy
breeze
was
blowing
from
the
west
with
the
promise
of
more
wind
behind
it
;
and
there
,
to
leeward
,
in
the
troubled
silver
of
the
rising
sun
,
appeared
and
disappeared
a
black
speck
.
We
squared
away
and
ran
for
it
.
My
heart
was
as
lead
.
I
felt
myself
turning
sick
in
anticipation
;
and
as
I
looked
at
the
gleam
of
triumph
in
Wolf
Larsen
's
eyes
,
his
form
swam
before
me
,
and
I
felt
almost
irresistibly
impelled
to
fling
myself
upon
him
.
So
unnerved
was
I
by
the
thought
of
impending
violence
to
Leach
and
Johnson
that
my
reason
must
have
left
me
.
I
know
that
I
slipped
down
into
the
steerage
in
a
daze
,
and
that
I
was
just
beginning
the
ascent
to
the
deck
,
a
loaded
shot-gun
in
my
hands
,
when
I
heard
the
startled
cry
:
"
There
's
five
men
in
that
boat
!
"

I
supported
myself
in
the
companion-way
,
weak
and
trembling
,
while
the
observation
was
being
verified
by
the
remarks
of
the
rest
of
the
men
.
Then
my
knees
gave
from
under
me
and
I
sank
down
,
myself
again
,
but
overcome
by
shock
at
knowledge
of
what
I
had
so
nearly
done
.
Also
,
I
was
very
thankful
as
I
put
the
gun
away
and
slipped
back
on
deck
.
No
one
had
remarked
my
absence
.
The
boat
was
near
enough
for
us
to
make
out
that
it
was
larger
than
any
sealing
boat
and
built
on
different
lines
.
As
we
drew
closer
,
the
sail
was
taken
in
and
the
mast
unstepped
.
Oars
were
shipped
,
and
its
occupants
waited
for
us
to
heave
to
and
take
them
aboard
.
Smoke
,
who
had
descended
to
the
deck
and
was
now
standing
by
my
side
,
began
to
chuckle
in
a
significant
way
.
I
looked
at
him
inquiringly
.
"
Talk
of
a
mess
!
"
he
giggled
.

"
What
's
wrong
?
"
I
demanded
.
Again
he
chuckled
.
"
Do
n't
you
see
there
,
in
the
stern-sheets
,
on
the
bottom
?
May
I
never
shoot
a
seal
again
if
that
ai
n't
a
woman
!
"
I
looked
closely
,
but
was
not
sure
until
exclamations
broke
out
on
all
sides
.
The
boat
contained
four
men
,
and
its
fifth
occupant
was
certainly
a
woman
.
We
were
agog
with
excitement
,
all
except
Wolf
Larsen
,
who
was
too
evidently
disappointed
in
that
it
was
not
his
own
boat
with
the
two
victims
of
his
malice
.
